1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

This study examines how workplace ostracism influences hotel employees' pro-environmental behavior, highlighting the psychological and organizational conditions that shape sustainable actions in the hospitality sector. Guided by social cognitive theory, the model tests green work engagement as a mediating mechanism and green management initiatives and environmental passion as boundary conditions. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 528 employees from four- and five-star hotels in major Chinese cities. Using Hayes' PROCESS macro, the study assessed both mediation and moderated effects. Results show that workplace ostracism significantly reduces employees' pro-environmental behavior, and this relationship is partially mediated by green work engagement. Moreover, green management initiatives strengthen the negative association between workplace ostracism and green work engagement, while environmental passion strengthens the effect of green work engagement on pro-environmental behavior. These findings contribute to sustainability and hospitality research by demonstrating how interpersonal exclusion undermines environmentally responsible behavior and by identifying organizational practices and individual motivations that can intensify or enhance these effects.
